Care for a first-hand look at how the PC version of EA's Medal of Honor multiplayer stacks up to Call of Duty? Three days of free multiplayer play is now underway. Did renaming the Taliban make a difference?

The beta features two maps based on real-world locations - Shaikot Mountains and Kunar Base. On Shaikot, the Coalition will need to complete five objectives while the Opposing Force, or OPFOR, try and stop them. At the Kunar Base, both sides will struggle over control of various objectives.

The open beta kicked off last night, and players only have until 11:59PM Pacific on October 7 to play, so if you're trying to figure out if you're picking the game up when it hits North America on October 12, now would be a good time.
